Gary grew up at Burkburnett, TX, graduating from high school in 1985. As a kid he raced motocross, enjoyed fast cars and loving life with family and friends. After high school he did various jobs before moving to Fort Worth. There he worked at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for 16 years while raising his two daughters. In 2011 he returned to the Burkburnett area making his home at Devol, OK. Since that time, he has worked in the oil industry and was currently employed by Strategy Oilfield Services.

He loved Texas Football, loud music and concerts, even to the point of being a roadie with the bands Obscene Gesture and Pantera. He was larger than life, the life of the party and loved life itself.
